Verdict
Veiled Illusion is penalised for winning over track and trip and CHRISTIAN DAVID can take advantage of the weight concession. The latter was beaten less than a length at Newmarket and this is less competitive. Joycean Way will likely be thereabouts dropping back down in trip while Galloping On is a newcomer to note.
